This baked pasta dish makes a tasty change from the usual lasagne. You can buy tubes of dried cannelloni in most large supermarkets or Italian delis. It can be a little fiddly to fill the tubes – you’ll need to use a teaspoon, preferably one with a long handle. For a less fiddly method use sheets of fresh lasagne, spoon the filling down one short end then loosely roll up to enclose the filling. Roquefort cheese is a pungent French blue cheese but for a milder flavour you can use creamy soft ricotta cheese or try a mix of both.

Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Fan 170°C/Gas Mark 5. Grease a large shallow ovenproof dish.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion and garlic for 5-6 mins until softened. Add the spinach leaves and a splash of water and cover and cook gently until the spinach has wilted. Stir in the cheese and walnuts and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Using a teaspoon fill each cannelloni tube with some of the spinach mixture and place in a single layer in the greased dish. Pour over the cheese sauce.
- Cover the dish with greased foil and bake for 30 mins. Remove the foil and bake for a further 10-15 mins until the top is golden and bubbling and the cannelloni is tender. Serve immediately with tomatoes and rocket.
